    Running

    Did 9 miles (almost but not quite two laps) round Draycote Water this morning at 6:40/mile pace (20:50/5km pace) Windy across the dams, and the uphill undulations really make it tough to maintain good pace and rhythm. Currently on 76.5 miles for the week, but might finish the week off with a...

    Two Tone 3rd Kit? (Again)

    I'm not a big wearer of kits, but i think that is nice and preferable to the previous two-tone kit. Without the sponsor it would be lovely.

    Whats the answer to the away form?

    Both goals were unnecessary. Needless corner given away for tte first, and a rash free-kick, and then completely falling asleep for the 2nd. Problem was you could see it coming the way we sat back, but even then Preston didn't look capable of breaking through without our errors.

    Totally unacceptable

    There's people on here happy to slate referees in the match thread... yet equally happy to condone Godden conning his way to a penalty, decieving the referee against Fulham...

    Running

    Went out this morning wanting a fairly hard run. Ended up doing 6km at 19:50/5km pace. Not quite the distance (nor pace) that i was looking for. However i ran 13 miles yesterday, have trained twice a day all week except for friday, with a number of strength sessions in there too... so couldn't...

    David Speedie comments CWR

    Whatever he meant by it... i agree that there's too much politics in football, and think that the ban on "political statements" by FIFA/UEFA was one of the few things they actually got right. If players etc want to take the knee... fine. But then those same players are going to be off to the...

    Match Thread Blackburn Rovers (A) Sat 16th October 2021 - 3pm KO

    We were incredibly fortunate with a penalty decision last time out though.

    Highfield Road plaque nicked

    It was a CCFC plaque, on the site of Highfield Road... why is it even going to be considered to be replaced by a Wasps equivalent... I despise Wasps as much as the next young man, but that is paranoia on an unbelievable scale...

    Preston match ?

    I could swear we beat them away during the first Robins era.

    Blackburn Away tickets

    we had an away match at Peterborough some time in the last decade (they still had the terracing in the away end).... we lost 1-0 and that Villa loanee hit the post from about six yards out... that was possibly the coldest i remember.

    We'll be back

    Cov had a massive army of loonies out as well... even people who i'd just normally see at matches, but weren't "the mob", were going mental... and Birmingham were about in the city centre... apparently West Brom as well.

    We'll be back

    My dad was in the more zoomed out photo of him, a couple of rows behind. And yeah it was lively outside. In fact the whole day, hundreds around the Rocket and the Railway station, the "special" train and the walk to the ground, all had a real edge to it. I think deep down a lot of people knew...

    Running

    I had achilles tendonitis when i was doing Muay Thai. Continued to train through it (so it must have been fairly mild), but couldn't run for a good while and had to cycle/cross-train. Fixed it with a lot of stretching and visits to physio for ultrasound and massage. Hasn't re-occurred (and it's...

    Running

    Did my first decent rep session after racing last weekend. 4 x 1 mile with 90secs rest, on the Penrith Parkrun course (flat, but was windy and rainy tonight). 6:10 6:05 6:05 6:00 I'd usually be looking to string a minimum of 5 together, and also a good 10 seconds faster, but given the...

    Blackburn Away tickets

    The 4-1 "Adebola" cup game at Ewood, we took around 3-3500. One of the most memorable away games during our "bleak" period. We also played then either a couple of years before or a couple of years after, in the cup, 2-2, they equalised last minute. I think we won the replay at the Ricoh though.

    Blackburn Away tickets

    Well i've been waiting 5 days for CCFC to get back to me via email to resolve my login issues. If they don't then i'll end up in the home end. I don't like to slag the club off too much but it's piss-poor service.

    Running

    Yes it is possible. It may not be shin-splints though, better to get a proper opinion. Have you gone from low mileage up to 40-50km/week very quickly? This is one of main causes of shin splints and impact injuries (that, and doing too much hard running off a low mileage)

    Running

    Ran the Peris Horseshoe fell race yesterday. Absolute beast of a race at 17.5 miles and 8000ft of climb/descent. Came 12th in 4hrs46, which was 11mins slower than my best time, but given the conditions yesterday (zero visibility, chucking it down with rain, really slippery on the rocky terrain)...

    Are emails still the best way to get in touch with the ticket office? Unable to log into my eticketing account... went through the process for missing client reference number, but this just leads to an error.
